NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRAP CRAP CRAP ON A CRUTCH!!!! I have been waiting for this moment since I finally left the line with my AOTC tickets 3 years ago!!! AND I MISSED IT!!! I signed up on the Senator's exclusive mailing list for the sole purpose of camping out in line and seeing it there at 12:01 opening day!!!! But I never got the email!!! WHY GOD WHY?! I check this board one day too late and it cost me more than I could imagine! This couldnt suck any worse. Now i have NO TICKETS to ROTS because I was so faithfully waiting to hear the good word from the Senator. Is it official that there are NO tickets to the mignight screening left?? I get out of work at 6 and will drive straight there if there are any left. If anyone has any info please help. Also will there be camping out the night before the premiere? If so does any body have one or hopefully 2 tickets for the 12:01 that I could buy off of? Please help a wounded Star Wars at the Senator Veteran not live the rest of his life with the guilt of missing the last movie where it belonged or even when it first premieres.

We were group #24, in front of the bank. I actually lucked out and was able to park my van on the street exactly in front of where we were sitting. Easy when it came time to stash my stuff.
Tom Keifaber is awesome - don't know what else to say. I had no intention of doing the midnight thing anywhere else, so I'm glad that he got the film and that I will have the opportunity to see the film inthe company of my fellow Star Wars maniacs at the Senator. 
I did ask Tom about the t-shirts, and they will be having Senator Episode 3 shirts.
Those drunks/stoners were pretty annoying - and that weirdo running around barefoot was something to behold. Hope I don't end up near them in the movie theater.

I'M BAAAAACK! Thank the maker! I found a way to juggle everything. I was group 37 at the Senator for the line. I was one of the one's in the back of the theater that was watching Empire. Tom is the coolest person I've ever known. What he did for us all is the reason why I go to the Senator. Who else would let the people waiting in line go inside, and not only show movies/music, but offer soda and popcorn!

I did hear someone watching a Star Wars flick in the background.
I liked the Peter Gabriel concert, but I couldn't stand Neil Young.
Revelations was OK I guess, but maybe I would have liked it better if I could have understood the dialogue.
I also forgot to thanks for young lady from the front of the line who was taking down the group names and handing out the numbers. I believe her efforts helped a lot.
I did notice a few people I had not seen before once I went back outside, but nothing significant.

PaSco: So that's who was watching Empire!
I recall the 1st run of music videos Tom showed, ending & suddenly hearing, "Artoo says their chances of survival are 725 to 1." I was thinking (Right before I passed out the 1st time), "Yes, thank goodness Tom let us in before they closed the blast doors."
Jedimaster_Paul: The young lady is Lizzy. She keeps busy all right. Kiefaber discussed the plan to let us come inside with her.
I believe, she was also trying to drive off those obnoxious "anti-fans" that insisted on hi-5's from everyone around 1 a.m. when they clashed with inebriated fans, etc.
The Sun paper also interviewed her. She's also proposed an idea to help Tom with repair/replacement of the damaged Han by asking the midnight show-goers to donate $1 each. Discussion being held at the Senator board
Oh, my Line photos are finally online if anyone is interested.

That Lizzy is a gem.
I was #18, in front of the drunken fans group. You probably remember I was the big guy with the "Imperial Domination" t-shirt that helped lizzy during the whole "High-five" guy"/ "I'm from NY, Say it" incident as we slowly forced the group up the street and witched them piled in to a cab.
I was part of the drum circle that took the stage (lol my hand still hurts)
I also was there when Lizzy pulled up the drunken fan to tell him he was no longer “welcome” to the senator at the opening. Believe it or not he clams he doesn’t remember anything. I ended the night at around 8 am as I fell asleep during “Yellow Submarine” (man that movie was stranger then I remembered as a kid)
I woke up franticly to an empty theater at 9:30 am and rushed to break down my tent and get in line (thanks Lizzy for the number Idea)
I will be in the movie line early on the 18th around noon.
I took some pics also and hope to have them on-line soon.

C_3PO: Can't make any promises, but I believe my nephew bought 2 'extras' (I was maxed-out @ 8). I've e-mailed him to see if he still has them.
Tak: Thank you for backing her up!
She's a close friend of the family.
I must've been carrying stuff into the theater during the hi-5 incident & didn't know she was going to confront the drunk or I would've stayed as well.

If anybody has an extra ticket[s], I am down on my hands and knees BEGGING. I will pay ANY price. I couldn't make it to the line because I had the work, and didn't get the e-mail that I know some people also mentioned not receiving. One thing after the other and now I have no tickets.
PLEASE, PLEASE, if anyone could contact me as soon as possible! I have been all over the Senator message board trying to track some down to no avail.

Not sure if it's a result of similar twisted minds or if someone at the Senator saw this on my Line photos page, but their latest newsletter included [most of] my EpIII slogan, "When the Sith hits the fans".
It's always nice to start the workday with a laugh. 
One of those first in line, Kris, has some very cool photos (especially check out the enhanced saber pics) on his site.

Guess I'm the only one who hasn't left for the Senator Seat Line?...
If anyone was wondering about what kind of print the Senator is showing & the owner's take on digital projection, here's what the owner posted on the Senator boards:
==========================================
Tom Kiefaber here. This time around in our opinion the state-of-the-art presentation of EP III on a 40' screen will once again be on film.
The 2K digital projection doesn't really hold up when the image is enlarged to the degree that it is on our 40' screen and the new Sony 4K digital projectors didn't get out of the gate in time.
As a result, we are sticking with the best resolution and color format yet available for our size screen which is projected film. We will be utilizing a "special select" 35MM film print on the latest Kodak Vision Premiere stock accompanied by Dolby Digital sound, which [at The Senator] includes Dolby's multi-channel Surround EX technology. "Dolby EX" decodes a middle channel on the back wall which can really enhance effects.
With our sound system having been recently checked out and tweaked and with our 8 18" subs doing what they do it should be an optimal and dynamic presentation of EP III at The Senator Theatre.
See you at the movies!
Regards, TK

I'm seeing ROTS for the first time tonight (Sunday) at the Senator, and I feel sooooo late to the party.
Funny, considering the movie's only been out 4 days.

Raw copies of my "12:01 Line" pics are up, if anyone is interested.
I tried to get everyone who was in line Wed. evening, so if you were there, chances are you're in these photos somewhere.
Got some decent shots of the 501st guys & of course the Imperial Limo arrival.
I had the duty of treasurer (aka Sith Line Monkey) for awhile when collections were being solicited for Kiefaber's appreciation gift.
Also check out Ken Harris' pics. He's got some great shots (link on my page).
